Sport betting site offering bets on the Covid-19 pandemic. Worst site now.

[Saint-loup]

People won't like this but it's impossible to lose the license just because they used COVID-19 on their platform.

Okay, I suppose it's similar to some people who take advantage of COVID-19, particularly some politicians and other government officials, so maybe they should all lose their positions if that's what you're concerned about. Not only the politicians but also the businessman who find an opportunity to grow profit in this crisis, I can't blame those people 'cause some of us born to be filty and selfish.

Most of betting platforms are located in tax haven countries, so I agree with you, they don't risk much and they won't lose their license for that. This type of countries don't care about that kind of thing.

[chaser15]

If that kind of betting continues then there are gamblers that supporting them. Maybe these gamblers just want to make a profit out of lockdown. Or maybe rich individuals that don't have a choice but to bet on these since most sports events are canceled.

So will these gamblers will have the same anger treatment that you guys put on those sites offering bets fo Covid-19?

With betcity taking bets on this crisis being a russian site, isnt it strange their prime minister had been tested positive having the virus today?
How corona karma works in mysterious ways and usually will get those who play around with human lives one way or another.

Don't think like that. I thought you care for people who got affected. If you are angry or mad about those sites offering Covid-19 betting, don't include those persons that got tested positive on the virus in the story.

What's appalling about this?

You do realize there are people in that world that bet on dog fighting, cock fighting, human fights etc?

Just because people are betting on it, that doesn't necessarily encourage it, especially when it's something entirely out of our control like COVID19.

You must be extremely immature if you genuinely think there is something bad about betting on adverse events.

e.g. you can bet that more than 100,000 people will die of lung cancer next year, whether you want it to be true or not, you're unlikely to affect the result.

Actually, this website didn't do something really bad that affects the outcome of the pandemic. What's bad is the government taking advantage of the donations from the big companies. Since, donations usually cannot be liquidated. These government officials should be the one to lose a license.
I actually don't see anything wrong about betting for covid-19, except it looks disrespectful for other cultures.

This is the only wrong thing i do saw about this matter but the rest on where most people do talk about revoking their license just because they do made such line which i dont really see it as a wrong thing.
When it comes to those government officials then theres nothing we can do about it but to embrace up the reality and its impossible to think about confiscation or cancellation as long
those people who are in the top are in charge.

[harizen]

That's why i am interested to know what is the particular type of bet, or what is written.
I can't just make a judgement if what they are is unethical or not if I can't review the site OP is referring.

There are shared sites in the previous post.

Some bets props are:

- Bets on city shutdowns
- Toilet paper shortages
- The vaccine being developed (when, where, etc)

As for the illegal gambling sites:

- Last digit of the number of daily new cases announced by Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
- Bet on whether the number is even or odd, and if the latest number in the respective countries is higher than the previous day's.

[bitbunnny]

Well, people obviously like to bet on everything. Yes, at first sounds appalling and strange but these sites just figured out where the money is and they offer to people what they want. I think that people bet on much worse things, so I'm actualy not surprised, although I wouldn't choose such betting.
Also, at the moment there isn't much choice in betting so I guess many people would just take anything that is offered.

While watching a streamer of their gambling bets they showed a site where they had lines for something to do with it.
I was appalled when I saw one of these sportsbetting sites were having odds on the covid19 virus.
I didnt see the details of the bet but it couldnt have been good.
They should lose their license if they are putting lines up for this as it not a joke or something to bet on.

Can you mention the name of that site which offer betting on covid-19 virus ? Maybe you have told before but i have missed it. I will definitely not play there even if had my account on that site. This is extremely bad act for them as it shows that they only want to collect money no matter how it comes.

Several links of the posts above are referring to russian and singaporean platforms(except fairlay). But you can bet on that on Augur and on many other unethical things like that because it's fully decentralized. It's a well known platform for that.

How many people will be confirmed to have died worldwide of COVID-19, the Coronavirus pandemic, at 5-1-2020 00:00 UTC?

Do you know if those platforms are still offering this kind of bets? Or do they have been warned or closed by local authorities since?

this could be it , the thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5284332.0 and the site : http://coronabet.co/ .

 i visit the site and it gives me error i guess it has been taken down already or they can also turned unto scam because the site is questionable but there could be other gambling site that offer the same bets because covid is not over .

the latest news related to covid is the upcoming released of the vaccine and betting sites will get interested to include them .

Thanks, but I think it's hard to predict that, so I guess as a gambler, I would skip that betting and just focus on the sports I love to bet, well, NBA is already in the air, opening games will be on December 22, 2020, so I might spend my money there.

The post you have quoted is way back in May 2020 when the pandemic is still highly active.

Today, there's not much betting about it or I think completely none but what I've seen last month is now about a vaccine race.

No there are still bets about covid19 death toll on some platforms.
For example on fairlay https://fairlay.com/market/covid-19-deaths-in-usa-by-june-1-2021/

I revisit the site, and now, the site is offline, and I hope we don't have to participate in that betting since we have so many other bettings. I do not agree to bet on something that uses human life as a gamble.

The thread itself is not active anymore, and the @OP was also not active. I hope there is no betting for human life in this pandemic but if that so, we can't stop them because people will decide for themselves.

While all government has been busy with the distribution of the vaccine to all hospitals, they now trying to make sure all paramedic and nurse and the patient can get the vaccine to cure the virus.

This just seems like a desperate gimmick. You might get some attention for doing this but it's just something I would keep my distance from. Some of the wagering options seem too ambiguous and unattractive for gambling.

It is a desperate gimmick, nobody in their right mind will do this kind of shit. This is something that you will see in the deep web altogether with red rooms, pedophile websites and drug markets. Have to commend their balls to do this thing to say the least. Distancing yourself from this kind of shit is the best course of action, remember that when people do not care about this enough, it will stop becoming a thing.

It would not be wise to put the COVID-19 pandemic at stake, this is quite painful for victims of COVID-19 to know. If the gambling site
that offers the bet is still active, I will never bet on that site. Since COVID-19 is the worst event I have ever experienced, imagine
the growing number of deaths due to COVID-19. This is a serious disaster that we shouldn't take advantage of.

Yes, it will make the patient and their family hurt if they see the betting site because it is like that site is not feel what they get. I will never try to place a bet on that site because that is not right for me. There are many victims of covid-19 in many countries and every people still trying to take care of themselves, so that is not good if we still betting on that.
